“I reached down and searched for my soul”

“I told the truth. I didn’t want to kill myself, only the pain.”

“Somewhere along the line, I lost my immortality device”

“Still watching my shower drain like it holds horrors”

“I inhale and my lungs know it’s over”

“every time I eat, I am digging my grave with my spoon”

“either way, I look like something from Ed Gein’s woodshed”

“Going under for the last time”

“I killed the old me right there and then”

“and then suffocating together in one mass sleep”

“my father decided to end his life, in a Best Western motel off the highway”

“He would die soon if I didn’t get him out.”

“If you are like me, and sometimes you get sad”

“This is chronic pain. This is the fever that never breaks”

“His skull broke open on the asphalt”

“aspirin and Sominex; it’s all there was”

“My ashes are scattered every day.”

“to just step out of the car at seventy miles an hour”

“The body could have been a Pepsi can laying there”
